May 26 (Reuters) – The Trump administration is expected \u2060to \u2060deploy U.S. public health \u2060officers to Kenya to staff a potential quarantine facility there \u200bamid the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Wall Street Journal \u200creported on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\n

The facility, which \u200cwas pending approval from the Kenyan government as of Tuesday, is intended \u2060for \u2060Americans who have been exposed to or at high risk of \u200btesting positive for the virus in the region, as well as those who test positive, the report said, citing people familiar with the matter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Some members of the U.S. \u200bPublic Health Service Commissioned Corps, a uniformed branch under the Department of \u2060Health and \u2060Human Services, have received \u2060notices \u200bto deploy, the report said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The White House and HHS did not immediately respond to \u200bReuters’ requests for \u2060comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The move comes as health authorities race to contain a fast-growing outbreak of a rare Ebola strain in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda.<\/p>\n

\n

The World Health Organization has declared the outbreak of the rare Bundibugyo strain, the third-largest \u2060such outbreak on record, a public health emergency of international concern. Ebola \u2060is a severe and often fatal disease transmitted through direct contact with infected bodily fluids.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Earlier on Tuesday, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention asked staff to volunteer for urgent deployment to support Ebola screening at the country’s entry points, according to an email seen by Reuters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

To date, no cases of Ebola disease have been confirmed in the U.S. and the risk to the general public remains \u2060low, CDC said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In Congo, there have been 906 suspected cases, including 105 confirmed, with 223 suspected deaths and 10 confirmed fatalities, CDC’s latest data showed. Uganda has reported seven confirmed cases and one death, with \u200bmost infections linked to the initial cases.<\/p>\n
